Might as Well Not Be in Prison At All: Difference between revisions

Line 93:
* In one episode of the western ''[[Street Fighter]]'' animated series, Bison is captured by a British team of superagents (Cammy was a former member) and sent to prison. This turned out to be a ''distraction'' on Bison's part that allowed his agents to enact a scheme that threatened ''all of England''. Bison then forces the British government to hand over a ransom of one billion pounds sterling—all while chilling in his cell and sipping tea.
* Most of the villains of ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'' are like this. Doctor Octopus fakes a return to his old, harmless self and by pretending to have been insane<ref>well, he is insane, but he faked being legally insane/treatable</ref> is able to get himself into a psychiatric treatment center that's a lot less stringent than prison would be, and he starts running a criminal empire from there. Most of the other villains do their time in a maximum security [[Cardboard Prison]] and go in knowing they only have to bide their time before their underworld connections break them out. Mysterio has a robot double doing time for him, so he literally isn't in prison at all.
* While Gideon is sent up the river a the end of the first season of ''[[Gravity Falls]]'', it barely slows his evil plans down, as he nearly manages to use his dad as a puppet-candidate for mayor to seize control of the town.
